I didn't have the interest or energy to take in Erin's home until later the following morning. The studio apartment was small, minimally decorated, intensely modern, and filled with books. Seemed fitting.

"Sorry," she said, noticing me looking at the bare walls. "No Civil War maps here."

I studied her, taking in the way her shoulder-length hair fanned out across the pillow and the sheets cast a silhouette over her curves, and decided there was no time like the post-orgasmic present.

"It's all good. We wouldn't want redundancy," I said.

I scratched my chin. Glanced out the window, then toward Erin's sparse kitchen and living area. There wasn't much else to the space. There was a tiny bathroom on the other side of the apartment, and I did mean tiny. I'd bullied my way into the shower with her last night, ignoring her insistence that it was only suitable for solo bathing. She was right about that. I couldn't bend my arms without hitting a tiled wall, and the spray was about six inches too low for me. We were stepping all over each other, and there was nothing we could do to keep the elbows from flying. I lost my footing and ended up sprawled on my ass on the cold floor when she accidentally popped me in the jaw while washing her hair.

"I've got the old maps, you've got every book ever written on just about every subject. We're good," I said. "There's nothing else we need. Sure, furniture and stuff, but we'll figure it out. Maybe Lauren can help. You give her something to look for, and she goes all foxhound, especially if you want vintage stuff."

"Really?" she murmured. "Already planning our future cohabitation? Don't I have a doctorate to finish first? Oh, and you have a couple of months of practicing medicine in the developing world, no?"

I threw back the sheets and changed position, moving down until I was resting my cheek on her tummy and smiling up at her. We'd discussed my Doctors Without Borders assignments late last night. She was thrilled about my new adventures, but with that came the recognition that we'd be contending with even more distance and time apart. No one was thrilled about that.

"I am planning for our cohabitation," I admitted. "I want to do this exact thing with you for many, many years."

Erin's eyes widened, as if I'd said something brash but not altogether shocking. A minute or two ticked by before she responded. "Riley texted me the other day," she announced. "Apparently Sam's taking a sabbatical in Maine. A rural fishing village or something of that nature."

Well. That was quite the detour.

"That's fascinating," I said carefully. Sam had been in rough shape when Riley brought him to the ER, and it was no small feat to get him stabilized. The guy had some serious issues to work out, and I wasn't convinced that a solitary expedition into the woods was the safest choice for him.

"According to Riley," Erin continued, "Sam hasn't specified when he'll return.
